SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 16, 2011, the Postal Service filed 
notice with the Commission of changes in rates of general applicability 
and concomitant classification changes for a competitive product 
pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.2.\1\ The Postal Service seeks to implement new 
prices for Parcel Select for forwarding and return to sender. The fee 
would be the applicable Parcel Select Barcoded Nonpresort prices, plus 
$3.00, for each Parcel Select forward or return. The proposed new 
prices will allow the Postal Service to more closely align with its 
competitors' charges.
